Cristiano Ronaldo sends message to Al-Nassr teammates as wait for debut continues

Former Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo wished his Al-Nassr teammates all the best in an Instagram post ahead of their first fixture since he officially joined the club last week.

The 37-year-old, who was released by United in late-November in the aftermath of his explosive interview with Piers Morgan, has joined the Saudi Arabian club on a two-and-a-half-year deal, bringing speculation about his future to an end. He has put pen to paper on a lucrative, big-money contract, meaning he will reportedly earn a whopping £177million-a-year.
